Here's one for you.  I've heard that quite a while back, some venue in Hawaii had a concert featuring...get this...SRV and Run DMC!  How's that for an odd couple?

its loads of cats out there but honestly, i think that there are opinions as to who our favorites are but history tells us who the best is. there is one brotha thats been doin since the 70's and has been owning gospel since the early 80's, he may be the most recorded gospel musician in history, he's stood the test of time thru every fad, style and trend and he can flat out outplay just about anybody you can name and that's JONATHAN DUBOSE. it's safe to say that anybody in gospel that's doin the guitar thing has lifted countless licks, riffs and chord ideas from this guy and probably doesn't even know it.  he's done more albums in a year than most gospel cats do in a lifetime.  on top of all that he's crazy anointed and humble, one of the nicest guys you could ever meet.  look his name up online and find one of his discographies, you'll be reading that joint for a minute. gospel guitar wouldn't have nearly the prominence that it does now if johnny didn't play the way he has over all these years.  he's the godfather of gospel guitar and a bonafied legend in this indutry.

for most instruments i definately agree but dubose is so much more accomplished in the gospel arena than everyone else and that is not a put down at all to anybody else out there. if you were to ask industry professionals who the biggest name in gospel guitar is everyone is gonna tell you jonathan dubose. now in other genres of music there are so many names to chose from, but gospel music has had a few. one of the reasons for that is that gospel guitar has a very particular style and role that guitarists from other genres usually can't just step up and play.  johnny has excelled at that and he keeps working.  i guess i should say he is the most recorded and accomplished and he is my favorite.

It's all good.  8) And now I'm gonna go educate myself on Jonathan DuBose...I've probably heard him and not even known it.

EDIT: OK, OK!!! I KNOW who Jonathan DuBose is!!! One of my favorite records of ALL TIME is Harry Connick, Jr "She".
Jonathan is the guitarist on it.
He is SLAMMIN' good!

I like Doc Powell, but if we're taslking Gospel, Fred Hammond's latest album does it for me!


I'm not sure if this is what you're talking about, or if you didnt know . . . but Doc Powell has been playing with Kirk Franklin's touring band for some time, and played most of the guitar on the Hero album.  He's also toured and recorded with many other gospel artists.

Two of my favorite guitar players in the Gospel field
are Spanky Alford and Joey Woolfalk.

These brothers are so melodic and know when and where to put
things in the right place.

Thats mastery at its best, you can know all the scales and all
the chords in the world, but to know where to put them, thats
the trick and the characteristics of a season player.

God Bless,

What makes this question so difficult for me to answer is that there are so many different styles in guitar playing. My favorite seems to be what mood or phase I happen to be in at the time or who I happen to be listening to the most at a particular time. Right now, it would probably be Chieli Minucci. If you're not familiar with his work, listen to 'Without You' on his 'Night Grooves' disc. When In mellower moods I like the jazz acoustic guitar player Peter White. I even have an acoustic guitar on display in my basement with Peter's signature on it. He signed it after he played at a jazz festival here in the Detroit area a few years ago.

Wow, talk about two polar opposites.  Eric Johnson is a very highly rated guitarist know for his tone and techniue.  The Edge, OTOH, is probably one of the most underrated players because he is not know for having monster chops and lightning fast licks.  IMHO, there are three guitar players in the history of rock that have inspried everyone else.  They are:

1. Jimi Hendrix
2. Eric Clapton
3. Eddie Van Halen

To one extent or another almost all of us who play guitar have been touched by these guys.

I just peeked in to see who you guys favorites were. But, my man, I like your first two choices....I wish they would cross over to gospel because Prince, Ernie Isley & Bootsy Collins got to be the baddest guitar players.

Bootsy is actually a bass player but his brother "Catfish" plays guitar.  BTW, if I'm not mistaken Bootsy makes an appearance on Nicole C. Mullins latest CD!

My favorite to listen to is Wes Montgomery.

He's dead now...I hope he was saved before he died.  I would not imagine that all that good labor was in vain and he still was lost in his sins.  That’s why it is important to dedicate your life to Jesus Christ and do his will.

Anyhow, I enjoy his creativity in his music.  Music is a gift from God.  My prayer is nations would use it to praise our Lord Jesus.  Amen.

I almost forgot one!!! John Mayer is an excellent guitarist. What I like about him is the inventive ways he puts rythms together. I'm not that experienced in the guitarist's realm yet, but I haven't heard anything like it from anywhere else...
